Right.  That's what optional means.  Putting it as optional in Maven
will change the dependencies report:

http://commons.apache.org/proxy/dependencies.html

None of the dependencies in Proxy (other than the JDK itself) are
required.  However, maven does put them on the classpath so that Proxy
will compile.  When a user declares a dependency on Proxy, they don't
get all of that extra stuff automatically.
